GHS Ztrawberry 🍓 & Fullgas 🏎️⛽

Hobbygrower97 The starting signal for a new grow. I found a great deal online for the two strains and jumped on it right away. Originally, I was going to include the Flowerbomb Kush in the grow, but unfortunately, only one of the three seeds has slightly germinated and probably won't make it. Instead, I will plant a Rollercoaster Haze from Zamnesia, as I still had some on hand. The first Full Gas seed also didn't make it, so another one will need to be planted. Accordingly, there is a difference of about 1 week between the respective strains. The ladies will initially be raised on the windowsill until the Green Poison CBD Run is completed.

Hobbygrower97 The start of the new grow is proving to be more difficult than hoped. The Ztrawberry has no problems growing down on the windowsill temporarily. However, the Full Gas and Rollercoaster Haze both died on me right after the first week. I'm trying to keep both genetics going. The seed of the Full Gas has at least germinated. If the Rollercoaster Haze doesn't work out again, I'll probably bring in another Blue Ace CBD Auto for the grow.

Hobbygrower97 Currently, we are in week 4 with the advancing ladies and week 2. The Ztrawberry is holding up pretty well under the current conditions and is developing beautifully. The newly planted FullGas! seems to be doing quite well this time, even though it's stretching quite a bit. I've decided to go with a Blue Ace CBD for the third plant. This one is also stretching quite a bit. As soon as the drying of the Green Poison CBD is complete, all three will go into their final pots for further growth. I will likely need to top the Ztrawberry a few times to maintain a reasonable size ratio.

Hobbygrower97 At the beginning of the week, the little ones moved into the 11L final pots. They all handled it well so far. This should actually be avoided with autos, but let's see what happens.

Hobbygrower97 To keep the growth a bit more uniform in height, I topped the Ztrawberry at the end of the week. All the plants are developing quite satisfactorily. Unfortunately, the first pistils are already visible on the Blue Ace, which I'm not too happy about.

Hobbygrower97 In week 7 of the growth phase, there were no problems. I started to tie down the Ztrawberry with wire after topping to achieve a better, even height of the shoots. The Fullgas will not receive any training aside from some defoliation. It looks strong and healthy. The Blue Ace is now clearly in the flowering stage. From the looks of it, I won't achieve much yield here, which I didn't expect anyway.

Hobbygrower97 Since I've lost track of the schedule a bit, I had to initiate the flowering after the last post. So far, there are no major issues to report. I'm curious to see how much the Ztrawberry and Fullgas will stretch.

Hobbygrower97 In the middle of the flowering week, I made an unpleasant discovery. Unfortunately, the FullGas started developing pollen sacs at almost every node, which is why I had to sadly remove it from the tent and throw it away at the end of the flowering week. Things aren’t going quite optimally with the Blue Ace either. The buds have remained very thin so far, and the leaf color and structure suggest one or two problems. However, since this was more of an experiment to see what the repotting and the 12-hour light cycle would result in, I can’t say that the expectations are being disappointed. Ultimately, the only hope is the Ztrawberry, which I am very satisfied with so far. I had hoped for a bit more stretch, but I’m still happy with the current stage. I suspect that either the pots at 11L are a bit too small, or the HortiOne 420 is too weak for the tent size to achieve stronger vertical growth.

Hobbygrower97 The 3rd week of flowering went smoothly. The stretching should be coming to an end soon. I'm very satisfied with the current stage of bud formation. The Blue Ace already looks ready for harvest on the outside. However, the trichomes are still mostly clear, so I'm giving it another 1-2 weeks to mature.

Hobbygrower97 This week was the last for the Blue Ace. It was harvested and is currently in a DIY drying box at about 22°C and 58% humidity for drying. The conditions are definitely acceptable for the season. The harvest results will follow after drying. The Ztrawberry is doing well. Right now, it needs to be watered with about 3 - 4 liters every 2 - 3 days. The buds are forming, and trichome production has begun.

Hobbygrower97 By the end of the week, there was a strong defoliation. This allows light to penetrate the plant much better now. I'm hoping that this will help it focus on the development of the flowers in the remaining weeks.

Hobbygrower97 Another week has passed and the Ztrawberry is thriving nicely. Out of curiosity, I took a closer look at the trichomes today and noticed that about 5 percent of them have turned amber. I had hoped that according to the breeder it would take 8 - 9 weeks. If I had known it would look like this after just 6 weeks, I would have given it a bit more growth time. I’ll keep an eye on the trichomes over the coming days, but I don’t think I’ll let it go until the end of week 8 of flowering. At this point, I can definitely say this grow has been the most "eventful" (albeit in a negative sense).

Hobbygrower97 The last hours of Ztrawberry have struck. I watered one last time in the middle of the week. There were extreme temperatures of up to 31 °C at times. I hope that not too many cannabinoids were damaged in the process. Since tomorrow will be the last hot day of the coming week, I will harvest in the evening. This time, I will use the DryFerm Bags for drying, as they are said to deliver strong drying results even under less than optimal conditions. After drying, I will post the final harvest.

Hobbygrower97 The past few days, more and more trichomes have turned brown, which was the sign for me to harvest. Unfortunately, I had to wait a bit longer due to the incredibly hot temperatures. This time, the drying is happening in the Dryferm Bags in my DIY drying box. I'm also very curious about the performance of the bags. The conditions are not optimal at around 22 °C and 58% humidity, but it's the best I can offer at the moment. Overnight, the two bags have already lost a total of 7.7 g in weight. After drying, there will be an update on the buds as well as a smoke report.
